With Wrexham set to travel Down Under for their upcoming pre-season tour, Ryan Reynolds has once again delighted his legion of Australian fans by announcing a new venture with Hollywood A-lister and Aussie icon Hugh Jackman.
It can be revealed that Jackman and Reynolds, have become the new co-owners of the newly rebranded BONDS Flying Roos - Australia's SailGP team.
The news also comes as underwear brand BONDS have become the new Title Partner of the Australian sailing outfit.
It is the first time that the SailGP side has had a Title Partner, with BONDS, one of Australia's most iconic brands, set to fly the Australian flag alongside the Flying Roos.
In true Reynolds fashion, the co-owners released an amusing joint statement claiming that Jackman would be bringing his 'emotional support human [Reynolds]' along for the voyage.
'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' the Deadpool and Wolverine stars said in a joint statement.
'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing.
'He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride.
'Apologies in advance to Australia.
'No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.'
It also means that Reynolds has added yet another business venture to his expanding portfolio. The American actor was seen celebrating earlier this year after Wrexham were promoted to the Championship. He famously owns the footy club alongside fellow Hollywood superstar and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator, Rob McElhenney.
Reynolds, 48, also has investments in Aviation American Gin and the Alpine Formula One team.
Meanwhile, Aussie star Tom Slingsby and his team are currently leading the SailGP championship with 39 points, one point against Emirates GBR in second place, and two clear of Spain in third.
The Aussie crew have won the SailGP championship three times over the past four years, with Slingsby, a CEO, driver and fellow co-owner of the team, speaking of his pride to have such inspiring brands and individuals join the Flying Roos on their venture.
'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team,' Slingsby said.
'They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team.
'With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.'
BONDS recently launched in the United States, in partnership with Robert Irwin, and Tanya Deans, president of the company added that the organisation were also over the moon to be on board with Australian royalty in Jackman.
'We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fueled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight. And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty!
'As we set sail on this new adventure, the BONDS Flying Roos have one less thing to worry about – we've got their backs (and bums) covered,' Deans said.
The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team are now due to make their official debut following the rebrand at the Muybadala New York Sail Grand Prix, which is being hosted between June 7 and 8.
